I’ve been trying to cast the net wider and go with the jobs 1.5 hours away but no luck so far. I’m looking into a possibility on the school side of things, but I don’t qualify for student aid and loans are yet another hardship for me. If I take out a loan it needs to be for more pertinent things (repairs, car, meds).

I’m not seeing a way out at all. At this point I think I just need to stay where I am working. I just don’t know a feasible long term solution.
